Problems with building an rpm
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I followed the setup instructions from http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/ (link from the Centos wiki). All this is done on another 'clean' system, so I have to read the terminal screen there and tell what went wrong here. I then followed my colleague's instructions to get the tar, untar, autogen, configure, and finally make rpm. Well it was that make rpm command that finally failed. And sudo was the problem. I got a message something like: Assuming that you are in /etc/sudoers!!!! And then asked for a password. Which password? My userid or root's? I tried both and after 3 tries got: me is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported. removing '/home/me/rpmbuild/BUILD/hipl--main--2.6/hipl-1.0.4' So I look at /etc/sudoers and do not understand what I am suppose to do there. A bit of help would be greatly appreciated! oh, and what is BEET support in the kernel?

perl bless/overload performance problem
by Amos Shapira 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hello, How do people here handle the situation mentioned in RH bug #379791 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791)? We have a web site built using Perl Catalyst which warns about this issue. So far we managed to avoid this by not upgrading the perl package handed to us as part of an old Xen image based on CentOS 5.0, but we are now building the Xen guests without this image and generally want to keep our package up to date for security. So - is there another package available to install instead of the CentOS 5.2 version? I tried before to compile the Fedora 9 package from source but despite it being claimed to have it patched it still demonstrated the buggy behaviour (using the sample test code mentioned in the bug report). Thanks, --Amos

Cluster: understanding virtual IP
by Dirk H. Schulz 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi folks, I have set up a cluster on CentOS 5.2 using /etc/cluster/cluster.conf - and it works fine. It's only purpose is to switch a virtual IP between two routers. Now the service is running, I can ping the virtual IP from outside - but this virtual IP is not bound to any interface. How does this work? Can I force the cluster to bind it to a certain interface? I need this because the routing daemon (xorp) does not make use of an ip address that is not bound to an interface. Any hint or help is appreciated. Dirk

Getting printer to work under 5.2
by Donald Buchan 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi I have a standard hplip install on my 5.2 box installed from the repos (it originally was installed from the 5.1 disks and followed any upgrade that may have occured in the transition to 5.2). My printer is a HP Deskjet F4180 connecting via USB. I can't get the printer to work. Documents manually printed from the file menu in OO.o 2.3 stagnate in a print queue, while the print icon produces an unspecified error. The cups daemon is running (it has been stopped and restarted a couple of times, along with a reboot just to be sure even though I knew it likely wouldn't affect things.) The standard hplip was uninstalled, and mannually installed from the HP website, with all dependencies resolved (rather frustrating to go through five dependency installs one at a time since the manual install of hplip only mentions them one at a time. :) ) This still didn't work. The manual install was uninstalled and the standard install from the repos was reinstalled. The OS does seem to detect the printer, at least when it's on; I have turned it on, unplugged it, and plugged it back in and on at least one occasion it was automatically detected. The printer does work; I used an Ubuntu 8.04 live cd and printed a test page straight off the bat without any modifications. Using a Dell P4 2.8 Optiplex (don't quite remember the exact model number ... gotta reboot for that to see the initial screen. :) ) Any ideas? (No, I won't install Hardy Heron, even if it is LTS. :) )

Yun Update problem

Hi, I've just done a clean install of centos-5.2 x86-64. When I do a update I get the following errors ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Updating: yum noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 update 582 k Installing for dependencies: yum-fastestmirror noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos base 13 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 595 k Downloading Packages: (1/2): yum-3.2.8-9.el5.ce 100% |=========================| 582 kB 00:00 http://thomond.csis.ul.ie/mirrors/centos/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/yum-3.2.8-9.…: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download I also get similar errors for some selinux rpms.

Is this just a case of my local upstream mirrors being out of sync or have I got a bigger problem. Thanks, Tony

yum remove <old kernel pkgs> -- wants to remove a ton of stuff
by fred smith 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I've got a Centos 4 box at work, where I noticed a pile of old kernels lying around and no longer needed. I did "rpm -qa | grep -y kernel > list" then edited the list to remove from it the newer kernels, then "yum remove `cat list`". Yum has come up with a list of 71 packages it wants to remove, even though there were only 33 kernel-related RPMs in the list. this doesn't seem right to me, as it is trying to remove a bunch of KDE files, net-snmp stuff, freeradius, etc. I show the entire list below. This certainly does NOT seem right to me. Anyone care to enlighten me? Given that it wants to do this, I'm thinking I'd be better off to just do "rpm -e `cat list`" instead.

Lost my madwifi setup
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I rebuilt my notebook that has the atheros card in it, and forgot to save all of my setup to get it working. I am using dkms and the madwifi rpms from rpmforge. My modprobe.conf has a line: alias wifi0 ath_pci I can ifconfig wifi0 up But the command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i wifi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf fails. Now some of my old notes mention using ath0 and a line in modprobe.conf of: alias ath0 ath_pci options ath_pci autocreate=sta I think there were some iwconfig commands somewhere too. But it is all gone....... sniff. I hope someone can help? I am going through this list's archives trying to find my old messages too.

SERIOUSLY OT STREAM EDITING IMAGES
by Chris Geldenhuis 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi All, I have been Googling my head off but cannot find a method to stream edit all the images in a directory and to resize them. I have a large number of images of up to 3GB in size that I want to put in albums on a website, but before I do this I need to resize them to a more realistic configuration. I know how to do this manually with the GIMP but it becomes tedious for more than a few images. Running CentOS 5 as virtualised under XEN as a web server. TIA ChrisG

Hello, I have been asked to come up with a strategy for centralized patch management of our linux servers. Today, this is only centos and rhel. What is everyone else doing in this arena? Thanks!
